Glimmermen - Breakin Out

"While Glimmermen’s earlier, angular post-punk hinted at influences like Mission Of Burma, this new album expands into diverse arrangements that are also part power-pop and underlying jazz, with the sort of dynamics that also bring to mind (late) Ted Leo and Minus The Bear. The addition of brass is a huge plus here, and the fleeting New Wave ideas and extreme diversity are punk in a way Nick Cave or Gang of Four would be classified. It wouldn’t surprise me if the band are all the rage in their home of Dublin; if there’s any justice, that praise should be widening significantly with this gem" - New Noise Magazine
